Recipe

Butterscotch Bliss Balls with Maca

Bliss Balls are all the rage on the health scene and it's no surprise - they're so easy to make, easy to transport and they keep really well. If you have a blender you can forget about shelling out on the dried fruit and nut bars and protein balls at your local health shops and make your own. Just whizz up some superfoods and roll into balls - your own customised sweeties.

Introduction

We’re big fans of coconut, cacao, dates, goji berries, almonds and spirulina in our bliss balls – a superfood medley – but this time we fancied something different. Four nutritious ingredients later we came up with this butterscotch concoction – just walnuts, maca, raw honey and coconut oil.

A great reason to make your own sweets is that you can work on reducing your sweet tooth. We tend to find shop-bought sweets, (including the health food ones) too sweet. With this Bliss Ball recipe you can reduce the amount of honey each time and replace the moisture with coconut oil. These will see you through those crazy times when you need a pick-me-up that won’t make you crash out an hour later.

How To:

1. Place the walnuts in a bowl and cover with filtered water.

2. Dissolve ½ teaspoon of salt in the water and leave the walnuts to soak for at least seven hours.

3. Drain and rinse, then spread on a large tray and dry in an oven at 50°C. Leave for 12 to 24 hours, turning occasionally, until the walnuts are crisp.

4. Blend all of the Bliss Ball ingredients together – the mixture should stick together when pinched between your fingers.

5. Roll into 1-inch balls and set in the fridge for 10 minutes or until needed.
